(b) to receive, on request (including by way of standing request), a copy of any other report provided under this Section V (and the relevant BSC Agent shall provide such reports to the Authority and BSCCo in the same timescales as the report is provided to Parties or relevant Parties).

1.1.3 No failure (in whole or in part) to make data available on the BMRS or to provide any report to any Party under this Section V, nor any error, inaccuracy or incompleteness of any such data or report, shall affect or alter in any way the rights and obligations of the Parties in relation to Settlement (including any entitlement to receive or liability to pay amounts in respect of Trading Charges).

1.1.4 Each Party acknowledges and agrees that:

(a) the rights and obligations of Parties (in Settlement and otherwise) under the Code shall not be affected or prejudiced in any way by, and
